Growing a Greener World

Urban Victory Gardens Project (11x6)

Air date: Oct 10, 2020

As the resurgence of victory gardens are springing up across the country, we explore urban communities looking for new ways to grow their own food and give back to those in need. One organization – The Peterson Garden Project in Chicago – not only sets up community gardens in big-city neighborhoods but also teaches people how to grow their own food. This historical Chicago victory garden is not just about growing food but also growing communities. The Peterson Garden Project is building gardeners rather than gardens, and their success is amazing and inspiring.
